Description
'An insightful, emotionally intelligent writer . . . her book is like a warm embrace' The Times
'Heartfelt, funny, uplifting' The Australian Women's Weekly
'Few people can write about food and heartbreak like Nora Ephron - that was until Dianne Yarwood . . . comfort food for your mind' Harper's Bazaar
'An uplifting novel about how the joy of living can be found in the most unexpected places' The Guardian
'A delectable fusion of comedy, hope, loss, and great food' Weekend Australian
'Funny, moving, tender and wise' LIANE MORIARTY
This is a story about Clare, Louisa and Chris. And sometimes Paul, and less often, Beth. It is most certainly not about frittatas (a concession), and more to do with lemon tart (a perfection).
It is about what to do when your husband tells you that he doesn't love you anymore, or your wife leaves you after too many rounds of IVF. It's about helping your new friend with her catering business, and discovering that, sometimes, the most unlikely of pairings are the very, very best.
'Heartfelt . . . blends humour with poignant reflections on life and death' Better Homes & Gardens 'Full of wry, astute observations of the human condition . . . We are left with a sense of hope and a fierce consciousness of the preciousness of life' Living Arts Canberra 'A celebration of what it means to be alive, and the joy of finding friendship' JOANNA NELL 'Warm and profound. I can't wait for everyone to read it' SALLY HEPWORTH 'Immensely human and warm and satisfying' SHELLEY BURR 'Rich with wisdom, love, humour and a sparkling joy' KELLY RIMMER 'So warm and poignant and sweetly funny. I loved it' JACQUELINE MALEYThe Wakes by Dianne Yarwood is a celebration of life, friendship, and the unexpected joys found in the most surprising encounters.

About the Author
Dianne Yarwood grew up in Newcastle and worked in accounting and corporate advisory in Sydney and London. She also nurtured a love for cooking and reading. At the age of forty, with three young children, she became very ill and her life was saved by an emergency doctor. This brush with mortality gave her the courage to do what she's always wanted to do - write. Her first novel, The Wakes, was an Australian bestseller. Dianne lives in Sydney with her husband.
